Can't auto-mount hard drive.

I dual-boot Windows Vista and Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) on my HP G60. I can access all of the files on the part of my hard drive with all of my Vista stuff (Ubuntu calls it 197 GB Filesystem and it is listed right underneath Computer in Places) but it will not stay mounted when I restart Ubuntu. This is annoying because my shortcuts to files on this part and my wallpaper disappear every time I restart my computer. I have already tried using Storage Device Manager. It does what I want, but it can't detect the right filesystem. I want this 197 GB Filesystem to mount automatically every time I start Ubuntu.

the uuidstuffgoeshere is obviously just the uuid of the drive which you can get from gparted or /dev/disks/by-uuid/.

/path/to/mountpoint is just where on the filesystem you want the drive to show up.

filesystemtype would be ext3 or ext4 or some other weirder thing if you happen to be like that.

mountoptions are described in detail in the man page for mount, I would guess you don't want block device things, so that would be nodev. I'd also guess that relatime is fine (I think this may even be the default now), you can also check out pysdm and use the assistant to find some of the flags, I'd recommend checking by hand as I've found it to be buggy, but I haven't used it in a while.

dumpflag is if you want the filesystem to be included in dumps, if you don't backup via dump, just leave it at 0.

And fsck checks, I'd recommend putting it at one more than the current highest number you see in that column. That way it will get checked occasionally.

After adding to your fstab, just reboot and it will be mounted at /path/to/mountpoint. Easy peasy. Just be careful.
